Saxon Memorial Foundation
We develop, sponsor and administer sites in the Free State of Saxony evocative of heinous political crimes, of political persecution, of state terror and state-organised murders of historical significance and implications within and beyond the region. We commemorate victims of political tyranny and the resistance against dictatorships. We keep records for the public.
